Background
Published in 2009, “Skinny Bastard,” challenges conventional dietary norms and advocates for a plant-based lifestyle to achieve optimal health and vitality. Through a combination of hard-hitting facts, humor, and practical advice, the book sheds light on the detrimental effects of meat and dairy consumption on health, the environment, and animal welfare. With a straightforward and no-nonsense approach, it empowers readers to take control of their health by adopting a plant-based diet, offering a wealth of information and resources to support this lifestyle change.
My Thoughts
I enjoyed how the book is written and after several attempts at reading some dietary books, which ended up written for women, I was hoping to find something a little more geared to men. This seemed to be a good alternative.
However, the book turned out to be just another attempt to push people into a fad diet with some tired slander and cherry picked research. (Much of which has been discredited in the last decade and even retracted by one of the doctors they cite.)
Recommendation
It started well but quick spiraled. Skip this one.
